A major theme promoted on 12/24 KB is how to set poor boundaries with your family. If your family berates, rejects, and abuses you, insist on staying with them. In fact demand it. When they kick you out of your house, force them to take you back. On top of it make sure your husband gets humiliated in the process.

Why does Simi demand on being with her father when she cannot do anything for his welfare? What does she plan on doing; play detective and find out what happened to him? She might have umpteen degrees but she shows about as much common sense as my cat, so any of that happening is going to be really unbelievable.

Simi cannot take care of her father - she is not a nurse. Is she going to bathe and clean up after him? I doubt any father would feel comfortable with their daughter doing any of these things. Is Simi going to give her father medications? Anyone can do that - even RB! LOL. It does not make any sense at all other than to get Simi back into KB. The writers have done a terrible job of making this happen and using "duty" as an excuse just does not had substance to the storyline. What duty??? Can someone explain it to me 'cause I don't see any duty or responsibilities.

When your family does not want to see you again and blames you for all the problems, why even reason with them and show warmth and consideration? When they promote lies and defame your character, why not defend yourself. For example, why don't Abhi and Simi just get Omi to tell everyone it was Neetu who told him she was pregnant with Vicky's child?

I am disgusted with Simi's behavior in the show and her need for acknowledgement by her family. This family pressured her to marry a man named Rajeev Bhala and then again with Nakul Singh Daggar. However, instead of taking a stand and telling her family, she is happy with Abhi, she's adamant they still accept her. In doing so she degrades the one person who sticks by her and stands up for her- Abhi. Watching her plead with her mother and showing her compassion while she (Manju) continues to degrade her is not heart-wrenching to watch, it's disgraceful.

Here is a piece of advise from Eleanor Roosevelt: No-one can make you feel inferior without your consent. Simi invites her own humiliation and for that I cannot have sympathy for her character.

Indian people are taught to respect their parents, but to what extent? When parents degrade you and allow others to humiliate you in public, refuse to let you see a dying parent, throw you out of the house and have no problems with you marrying a potential rapist or a man you do not love, are they really deserving of respect? Why even want them to love you? Tears should not even be shed for them; they are a disgrace to parenthood.

It is not that women like Manju do not exist, but at the age of 30 a young woman like Simi, who is now married, needs to start to sever those emotional ties that cause psychological damage. On top of it, Simi needs to get some counseling and perhaps listen to the words of wisdom from her husband. A man who was once portrayed with dignity, character and self-worth now written as man who is wimp, without a backbone, a lap dog for his wife, jobless and penniless and who still doesn't even have his trusted jeep😭.

What a sad state of affairs. Someone, please call Dr. Phil.

Very well said laila

I was really sad whenever Manju insults Simi and she again goes and begs her !!

And uff tjose society people calling Abhi baccha all the time.. Why can't they mind their own buisness.
And As you said Will Simi be able to take care of her dad.. Well she isin't a nurse but atl;east in my thought Abhi could have arranged anotyher place and may be taken them there i,e, Abhi Simi and RS

And I am totally surprised wht is Abhio borrowing help soo much from Omi
He could have contacted his mom and also I mean he is a tarneja dose'nt he have any share or anything whoch belongs to him as being the son of a Tarneja

Simi needs to calm down a little she is too hyper now a days !!! Not because of the way she is running around to get her dad out of trouble and get to know the truth abt Anuj's plan
